    　Francis Bacon, one of the most important philosophers(哲人) of England, was born in London and educated at Cambridge University. When he was only 15, he went to France to work for the English ambassador (大使) . Two years later he went back to England to study law. At the age of twenty-three he was chosen to parliament (议会). His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking, called the scientific method.
    　　One of the Bacon’s best-known books was his Essays. Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying, conversation, friends and healthy living. In many of his books, Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really existed in nature and then tried to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it was. Later, by doing experiments, the scientist could see that any one cause would always have the same result. This method, which is called inductive reasoning, is used by all the scientists today, but it was new in Bacon’s time.

    A．Francis Bacon was the most important philosopher of England

    A．to discover general laws from particular facts or examples

    An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him. You may say something like this, “I’m afraid it’ll have to be some place cheap, as I have very little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s.” This means that two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnson’s”, or “I want you to try the steak(牛排) there. It’s great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.”
    American customs about who pays for dates(约会) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in the business world will usually pay her own way during the day. If a man asks her to dinner or a dance outside the working hours, it means “come as my guest”. So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.
    小题1:In the old days _______ often paid for all the meals.
    A．womenB．men
    C．university studentsD．businessmen
    小题2: “To go Dutch” means to _______.
    A．go to play outsideB．eat out
    C．pay for oneselfD．go to a cheaper eating place
    小题3: “McDonald’s” here means _______.
    A．a tea houseB．a gate
    C．an officeD．an eating place
    小题4:If you feel friendly to the person, _______.
    A．you should pay for himB．you needn’t pay for him
    C．you can accept his invitationD．you can’t accept his invitation
    小题5:We’d better know who will pay for the meal _______.

    A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work..
    He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. It is easy to get such an idea even though there is no justification for it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to take the most of his mental faculties, or he may accept another person s mistaken estimate of his ability. Older people may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.
    A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won’t go at a job with the confidence necessary for success, and he won’t work hardest, even though he may think he is doing so. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.
    Alfred Adler, a famous psychiatrist（精神病医生）, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, "Isn’t it too bad that Alfred can’t do arithmetic?" He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.
    One day he became very angry at the teacher and other students because they laughed when he said he saw how to do a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve.
    Adler succeeded in solving a problem. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn’t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His anger and his new found confidence stimulated him to be at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic. He not only proved that he could do arithmetic, but he learned early in life from his own experience that , if a person goes at a job with determination and purpose, he may astonish himself as well as others by his ability.
    This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have. And that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one’s ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.
    小题1:The underlined word “justification” most probably means ________.
    A．reasonB．rightnessC．needD．demand
    小题2:What is the main idea of this passage?
    A．The basic principles in doing math problems.
    B．Our idea about ourselves may have a negative influence on our work.
    C．Our ideas do not always have and influence on us.
    D．All actions are caused by impulse.
    小题3:What does Alfred Adler’s story tell us?
    A．Many people have more ability than they think they have.
    B．Anybody can become a mathematician, if he has determination.
    C．Arithmetic is actually very easy.
    D．Most teachers are wrong when they evaluator their students.
    小题4:Why did he become angry one day?
    A．Because the teacher and other students laughed at him.
    B．Because they challenged him to do a difficult arithmetic problem.
    C．Because he couldn’t solve the arithmetic problem.
    D．Because he was very poor at arithmetic.
    小题5:What idea did Alfred’s teacher have?
    A．He was slow in arithmetic.
    B．He should work harder.
    C．He should be transferred to a special school.
    D．He should not tell his parents that he was slow.

    On May 29, 1973, Thomas Bradley, a black man, was elected mayor of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is the third largest city in the United States, with a population of three million. About sixteen percent of the city’s population are black.
    News of this election appeared on the front pages of newspapers everywhere in the United States. Here is how one major newspaper reported the event:
    LOS ANGELES ELECTS BRADLEY MAYOR UNSEATING YORTYBLACK WINS 56% OF VOTES
    Bradley called his victory over Yorty “the fulfillment (实现) of a dream”. During his childhood and youth, people had kept telling him, “You can’t do this, you can’t go there, because you are a Negro.” Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory over a man who had been won 43.7 percent.
    Los Angeles voters have had many opportunities to judge. Thomas Bradley had to form an opinion of him. The son of a poor farmer Texas, he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940. During his twenty-one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school at night. He was elected to the city council (市政厅) ten years ago.
    At the time of the Los Angeles election, three other American cities already had black mayors, but none of those cities had as large a population as Los Angeles. Besides, the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger. Cleveland, Ohio, had thirty-six percent black when Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1967. In the same year Richard Hatcher was elected mayor of Cary. In Newark, New Jersey, sixty percent of the population were black when Kenneth Gibson was elected in 1970. Thus election of a black mayor in those cities was not very surprising.
    In Los Angeles thousands of white citizens voted for Thomas Bradley because they believed he would be a better mayor than the white candidate(候选人). Bradley had spent forty-eight of his fifty-five years in Los Angeles. Four years ago Bradley lost mayoral election to Yorty. This time Bradley won.
    小题1:In the author’s opinion, it was surprising that _______.
    A．the whites would vote for a black mayor
    B．a black mayor would be elected in such a large city
    C．a black from a poor farmer’s family could be elected mayor of Los Angeles
    D．there would be so many black mayors
    小题2:From the passage we can infer that people ________.
    A．voted for Bradley because of his black color
    B．didn’t care much about his color when they voted
